Writing Tips

Keep it warm but appropriate

Match your message to the closeness of your relationship. A formal line works well if you are not particularly close; a friendlier tone is fine for someone you spend a lot of time with.

Avoid overly personal remarks

Even if you know details about their relationship, a colleague card is best kept general and positive. Save the inside jokes for friends who also happen to be workmates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I write if I do not know the colleague very well?
A short, formal message is perfect. Something like "Wishing you both a wonderful wedding day and a very happy future together" is warm, appropriate, and works for any level of familiarity.
Should I mention work in a wedding card for a colleague?
A light, positive reference to the office is fine, especially if it is humorous. Avoid anything about workload, deadlines, or stress. The tone should be celebratory, not corporate.
